Selena Gomez has candidly shared her thoughts on her path to motherhood, acknowledging that it may not unfold the way she once envisioned. “It’s not necessarily the way I imagined it,” she reflected, speaking about her dream of becoming a parent. “I thought it would happen the way it happens for everyone. But I’m in a much better place with that now.”
The singer recently opened up about her journey before finding love, revealing she spent five years single, with only a few dates in between. Reflecting on that time, she said, “I thought, Okay, if this is where I’m at, what’s most important to me? The answer was family.”
Gomez also shared that she cannot carry her own children due to medical complications that could endanger both her life and the baby’s. “It was something I had to grieve for a while,” she admitted. Despite this heartache, she remains hopeful and focused on building a family in her own way.
Grateful for alternative options, Gomez expressed excitement about the possibilities of surrogacy and adoption. “I’m thankful for these options,” she shared. “There are so many people who long to be moms, and I’m one of them. I’m excited for what that journey will look like, even if it’s different. In the end, I don’t care—it’ll be my baby, and that’s what matters.”
In a touching gesture, Benny Blanco posted a throwback photo of himself and Gomez from their “I Can’t Get Enough” music video set, accompanied by a sweet caption that delighted fans: “I used to play a teddy bear in your music video, and now I get to be yours in real life….”
